Paragon of Death

Life from birth has been nothing but hell. I lost my parents to some stupid aristocrats whom they offended. Executed for no good reason. My relatives abandoned me and pushed me aside. They feared for their lives and left me and my sister to starve and wander the streets alone! No, this is worse than hell! I watched my sister die of starvation. Her lips were dry and her feet bloody. Her nails were broken and her fingers riddled with cuts. She struggled in my hands and after a few seconds of struggle she passed away. She seemed joyful in death so I prayed mine will come just as swift and merciful as hers. So I stayed in the alleyway, alone with her rotten corpse awaiting my fate for God knows how long. I could see it already. The darkness encroaching from all sides Everyone said death is scary but I say it's the end! Who needs life after death? What is the need for reincarnation? Who would want to return to this crazy world? "It's not yet time for you to go... You have one more task to accomplish as my host" A voice called out to me. I could barely see or speak but how can I miss such a beautiful face? It was an extremely handsome man who gazed at me with tender eyes. "Haven't I suffered enough? Can't I just rest?" I cried out. Why would I want to stay back in such a cruel world? "Don't you want to avenge the death of your parents? Don't you want to become something greater? I can make that happen!" The beautiful man said with an alluring voice. "You... Who are you?" I asked with an anxious heart. My parents always said God is the only one who cares about me! Maybe in my final hours, he has come to save me. "Call me Death..."

Chapter 285: A tough decision

As soon as Cecile arrived he began climbing a structure at the center of the arena which looked like stairs leading to what could be considered an altar at the very top.

As Cecile climbed the stairs his eyes chilled as he saw a strange figure at the top and not a bishop or a priest as he was expecting.

Garrett family leader!

Matriarch Rose!

Upon seeing the figure, Cecile fell on both knees and bowed respectfully. Everyone watching instantly lowered their heads in fear as well. It is not every day the regional head appears. Especially in a ceremony like this just to bless an aspiring knight of light.

Seeing Cecile's natural reaction to her, Rose's suspicion dropped drastically. That was the natural reaction of all her subordinates which cannot be faked. Seeing the way he acted he was sure the kid was legit now but it wouldn't hurt to peer into his eyes and be sure.
